Chapter 531: 531 A war without firing a shot
Chapter 531 531 A war without firing a shot
At the gate of the desolate camp, an old man was holding a cigarette and puffing away leisurely, sitting in the shade of a tree. There was a teapot and a small cup on the stool in front of him.
When a Dornish officer came here with dozens of men, he only saw such a scene that made people laugh and cry.
The Datang Group's security forces in Rewind Port had evacuated three days ago. The other party didn't even try to hold on and fire two shots, but simply vacated the barracks and left.
Now there is only a stretch of empty houses left here, which are well preserved without any signs of damage. Even the old gatekeeper sprinkles some water on the school grounds every day.
“Where are the people here?” Dornish officer looked at the old man drinking tea and asked.
“They’re all gone.” The old man answered knowingly, flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and took another sip, feeling very comfortable.
"When did you leave?" Dorne's officer looked at the quiet barracks nearby and continued to ask.
"Three days ago! They all left." The old man continued to answer, without any intention of hiding anything.
“Did they take away all their weapons?” Officer Dorn motioned to the soldiers behind him to get closer to the barracks and take a look.
"That's not true. They sealed the weapons in warehouse No. 3 in the barracks." The old man shook his head and continued to answer. After finishing speaking, he added: "All the keys in the barracks are hung on the wall of the mail room. "
After finishing speaking, the old man raised his arm and pointed, roughly indicating the location of the mailroom.
"Thank you! Old sir." The Dornish officer was very polite. He nodded and thanked, and then hurriedly left with the rest of the people.
As expected, these Dornish soldiers saw the key on the wall in the mail room at the entrance of the barracks. They also saw the Datang K3 rifle and Maxim machine gun that had been kept intact in warehouse No. 3.
Boxes of bullets are just lying in the corner. When opened, they are shiny and ready for access at any time. It is as if they were specially reserved for the Dorne invasion troops.
The same is true in the port of Rewind Port. The dock is empty, and the built ships have disappeared. However, the equipment for building ships has remained in place, and there are even dedicated personnel to maintain and oil them.
The cranes are also there, and there are even some fishing boats cruising in the harbor as usual. Those who stayed behind were calm, watching Dorne's troops enter the city, and then watching these people retreat.
Because no troops from the Tang Group were indeed found, the Dornish troops, who had already thought they were ready for street fighting, could only evacuate in embarrassment from the city that did not need them to fight at all.
Officials who arrived later saw burned documents at their respective offices, as well as data and documents that could be left for them.
Everything was so natural, as if there was no resentment. Datang Group left quietly and withdrew from Refeng Port, which had been operating for five years.
The factory machinery here has been sealed up and everything is well preserved. As long as the canvas covering the machines is pulled back and enough workers are found, production can be resumed immediately.
Datang Group used the most tolerant attitude to save the city, and at the same time completed the handover and fulfilled its promise.
Dorne seems to have to maintain their dignity. They can only watch the civilians waiting in line at the dock to board the big ship that is about to leave, heading for the distant Dragon Island.
They didn’t have the guts to stop such departures, because there seemed to be a hidden power in these men and women standing quietly on the dock, a power that no one dared to provoke.
Even Dorne's soldiers did not dare to step forward to question and cause trouble. They only dared to watch from a distance. From time to time, they saw cars full of people driving into the port, and they did not even have the courage to stop them.
On the bridge of a Liberty Ship converted into a passenger ship, the captain looked down at the crowds of people on the pier who were crowding under the ship's side and preparing to kick off the ship. He asked the first mate standing beside him: "Is this the last group?"
"Well, this is the last batch! There are 2,000 people in total...it seems there are some who have temporarily changed their minds, maybe more than 2,100 people." The first mate replied calmly.
Standing on this ship flying the flag of the Tang Kingdom filled him with endless power. He was not worried that the officers and soldiers of Dorne would dare to charge forward. This was the confidence that his strength gave him.
“We don’t want any more cars, leave them all to them.” The captain said when he saw the cars at the end of the pier that were parked in a mess and had run out of gas.
“We have lost our guns, and we don’t have time to bring the car with us. The transport capacity is limited, so there is nothing we can do.” The first mate smiled helplessly.
If given the chance, he definitely doesn't want to leave ammunition and weapons to his enemies, but he really doesn't have any ability to take care of these extraneous things.
Over the past month or so, they have been traveling day and night, running almost at full speed, transporting countless people to Bunas. According to statistics, Datang’s shipping department transported a total of 100,000 people from Refeng Port! This is already a miracle!
In order to achieve this goal, we don’t need guns and ammunition, we don’t need machines, we don’t even need clothes and luggage…
The ones who were transported away were just people, just people!
Here I would also like to thank the private fleet. Many fishermen even drove their boats directly to Bunas with their relatives and friends. If not, the number of people transported might be reduced by one-third!
In the city of Neverwinter, the local nobles who had never dared to stand up celebrated with great fanfare, because the outsiders who were pressing on them finally got out!
In order to stabilize the situation in Neverwinter, the King of Dorne hired some former Talon nobles to take over the local managers, and then launched a unique counterattack.
The originally low rubber tax has been increased threefold. Because rubber production and planting take time, local rubber farmers are miserable.
However, these emotions are still suppressed now, because before Datang Group left, it took away almost all the local rubber. The money was enough to keep the rubber farmers stable for many years.
The same thing happened in Beiling. When Susas' troops entered the ice city they had lost for more than five years, they didn't even see many people on the streets.
Most of the people have moved away, and few of the remaining people miss the rule of Susus. No one lined the streets to welcome us, and no one threw flower petals to applaud.
For the Susus troops who entered the Ice Crystal City, this place is basically like a dead city. The streets are deserted, and the factories that used to produce day and night now have no sound at all.
However, Earl Beiling still kept his agreement. When she left, she did not destroy a bridge or take away a machine. All factories remained as they were, except that there were no workers.
This great migration, unprecedented in world history, swept away more than one million people in Beiling. Most of the people who stayed behind were old people who were unwilling to leave their hometowns, and some who felt that there were many opportunities to stay.
The railroad tracks are still there, extending from Ice Crystal City to Wolf City. But all the locomotives have disappeared, because after all, locomotives are needed for transportation, so Beiling took them all away.
The busy station is still busy today, and the southbound train from Sussas still arrives on time. Those who jumped off the train were Sussian soldiers who finally realized their dream and took back the land they had occupied years ago.
The soldiers of Sussus, who could not wait any longer, gathered in the square of Ice Crystal City and worked together to knock down a statue of Count Fishereau.
The marble shattered on the ground, and Count Fischerot's head rolled far away, and no one cared about it at this time.
At almost the same time, soldiers from the Poplar Kingdom marched into Ossa, once again breaking their promise and breaking their contract to cede Ossa.
But what Sir Rebert and his monarch did not expect was that more than 50,000 elves chose to leave their hometown and go to Dongwan Island to live temporarily.
The Ice Empire has taken back Everwinter City, and the desolate look of this huge port is heartbreaking. Without the fleets from Bunas, Long Island and East Bay, the scale here seems to be completely a display.
However, the Ice Empire still got their largest port back, and also gained an important industrial area.
The Binghan Empire, which originally had strong industrial strength, also got a delicious piece of cake in this feast of the whole world carving up the Datang Group.
With the war between Tang and Qi, the troops of the Lions Empire also entered Jade City. They also encountered no resistance and got everything they wanted.
Millions of people have left their homes, some going to Longdao, some going to Linshui, Dongwan, Yucheng...basically only a framework is left.
Even if it is a framework, Lions I is satisfied. This is his previous royal city, the old royal city where he was born and lived for most of his life!
Now that he has taken back this place, he also wants to take back one of the most important cities in the world: Bunas!
Owning Bunas, even if he only owned the machinery and equipment there, Lions I was sure that he would gain countless wealth and amazing technological advantages.
On the same day that the troops of the Lions Empire entered Jade City, King Lions I announced that Jade City would be renamed Wright, restoring the city's old name.
At the same time, in order to celebrate that he was about to capture Bunas without any blood, he also held a banquet for his officials in Lanes City.
Of course he wants to celebrate. Under his planning and leadership, Datang Group has become a rat on the street, and everyone wants to beat it.
Even if the Datang Group stabilizes the situation in the future, it will be the enemy of the whole world, and it is impossible for everyone to retaliate - as long as the Datang Group cannot launch all-round revenge, it can ensure that it is invincible!
Isn’t this worthy of his celebration? Isn't this worthy of his joy?
